The Periwinkle, also known as Sadabahar or Vinca, is a beloved flowering plant native to India and Sri Lanka. Botanically named Catharanthus, which means 'pure flower', this plant is a perennial that brings consistent colour to gardens with its vibrant blooms in shades of white, purple, and pink. For gardeners across India, the Periwinkle is a popular choice due to its hardy nature and ability to thrive in the tropical climate. It's particularly favoured as a summer plant, providing continuous colour when many other flowers may wilt in the heat. The Periwinkle is ideal for those who want a beautiful garden without the hassle of high maintenance. It's perfect for outdoor spaces like balconies, terraces, and gardens where it can receive plenty of sunlight. The plant's almost oppositely arranged leaves and solitary flowers in the leaf axils create an ornamental appeal that enhances any outdoor setting. One of the key attractions of the Periwinkle plant is its ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, making it an excellent choice for promoting biodiversity in your garden.

Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Periwinkle, scientifically known as Catharanthus, is a perennial flowering plant from the Apocynaceae family, native to India and Sri Lanka. Commonly called Sadabahar in Hindi, this plant is cherished for its vibrant, solitary flowers that bloom in shades of white, purple, and pink. The Periwinkle is a fast-growing, low-maintenance plant that adds a pop of colour to gardens and outdoor spaces. Its ability to thrive in the Indian climate makes it a popular choice for home gardens, terraces, and balconies. The plant's name 'Catharanthus' translates to 'pure flower', reflecting its delicate and beautiful appearance. At gardengro, we offer healthy Periwinkle plants that are ready to bring beauty to your outdoor spaces with minimal care required.
Periwinkle plants love bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sun daily to thrive and produce abundant blooms. As an outdoor plant, it should be placed in areas that receive full sun exposure, such as south-facing balconies, open terraces, or garden beds. While it can tolerate some partial shade, insufficient light may result in fewer flowers and a leggy growth habit. The Periwinkle is particularly well-suited for bright light balconies and outdoor spaces where it can bask in the Indian sun. When positioning your Periwinkle, ensure it has enough space to spread as it grows, as this encourages better air circulation and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.
Proper watering is crucial for the health of your Periwinkle plant. The soil should be kept consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but it's important to avoid water-logging, which can lead to root rot. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently, perhaps every other day, depending on the weather conditions. The Periwinkle is relatively drought-tolerant once established, but consistent watering ensures continuous blooming. Good drainage is essential, so ensure your pot has drainage holes. While the plant prefers moderate humidity, it can adapt to typical Indian outdoor conditions without special humidity requirements.
